.....you have to opt out or they will just upgrade you automatically....


T-Mobile Automatically Upgrading Users to More Expensive Plans, But There's an Opt-Out Option

....T-Mobile will be forcing customers on older smartphone plans to move to newer, more expensive plans, according to information that has been shared on Reddit. The migration will be automatic, but customers can contact support to ask to opt out of the migration.

Those who had the prior Magenta and One plans will be upgraded to Go5G, while those on the Magenta 55+ plan will be upgraded to Go5G+. Simple Choice and Select Choice users will be moved to Magenta or Essentials Select.

With these migrations to new plans, customers will see price increases of $5 to $10 per line depending on current plan. Those on the Simple/Select Choice plans, for example, will see a $10 per line price increase.

Customers who miss the notification about the upcoming plan changes can still ask to revert back for a short period, though customer service will attempt to push customers to new plans with one-time credits.

As noted by The Mobile Report, customer support representatives will attempt to convince users about the benefits of the new plan. "We are not raising the price of any of your plans; we are moving you to a newer plan with more benefits at a different cost," T-Mobile instructs employees to say.

Customers will begin receiving notifications about the upcoming plan changes on October 17, both through text messages and emails. Migration timing will vary based on bill cycle......


.....they....auto.....know.......better........?!

And folks thought things would get better when they retired the "Sprint" brand.

I'm grandfathered on 4 lines but been teetering about TM, this will probably do it.

If it wasn't for the discounted Apple & Netflix, I might consider a Vzn package. Time will tell.

Now looking to switch out. Been a LONG time t-mobile user.

I am on the 55+ plan from the beginning, so only paying $60 for 2 lines. I'll have to check my actual usage, but looking at Mint and Tello.

I think people here like Mint. I'll search previous threads, but happy for current recs..

My brother has Mint and has been happy, well as happy as a grumpy old f'k "no one's gonna track me" can be.
I believe Mint are a T-Mo MVNO.

Yes, thanks for that link. It is a very well-written explanation. One of the reason I went back on our family Plan a couple of years ago was because of the free line and a free iPhone SE 2020. Based on the info in that link, it looks like I may get to keep the free line, even if we do migrate.

I have a "simple choice family plan" that gives me 4 basically unlimited lines for our family for about $130.

If I am forced to upgrade to "more features" it will force me to investigate switching providers.

Nice job TMobile - you will force millions, who don't think about changing, to think about changing.

So dumb.
